I recently updated my dual GTX 480 NVidia GPU drivers to the latest revision put out by NVidia and now I am seeing a whole bunch of Computation Errors from my Milkyway and Seti projects. Any news on this and/or how to fix it?

I would think that when newer drivers give errors, while previous drivers didn't, that going back to the previous drivers might be the first step to follow. But that might be me.

With 295.xx drivers once the DVI connected Monitor goes to sleep the Cuda device becomes unavailable, eithier set the Monitor to never sleep, and physically turn it off instead (there are some reports that this works),
or install 290.53 or earlier drivers,

And please add a Bug report to the Official WHQL NVIDIA 295.73 Display Driver Feedback Thread For NVIDIA Geforce Desktop/Notebook/ION GPUs Released thread,

Glad I found this thread, i'm having the same problem also. however even with the power option set to turn monitor off after 1 minute it still stalls gpu activity after about 15 minutes.
